Operation Ripper
Operation Ripper was a military operation conceived by General Ridgway during the Korean War, intended to destroy as much of the People's Volunteer Army and North Korean military from Seoul and of the towns of Hongch'on, fifty miles west of Seoul, and Ch'unch'on, fifteen miles farther to the north and to bring UN troops to the 38th parallel. It followed upon the heels of Operation Killer, an eight day UN offensive that concluded February 28, to push Communist forces north of the Han River.
